I'll. D., pastor of the First Baptist Church,
Montclair, N. J., recently preached the1
following brilliant sermon, which he en-1
titled "Vital Union With Christ." The!
text wat chosen from Ualatiana ii : 20 : "ij
m crucified with C hrist and I no longer
live, but Christ livetli in me, and the life
wmcn i now live i live ny faith in the: .
.iuii v i va nuu mien flic a 1114 nta UllII-
elf to die for me." Dr. Cane said:
The highest conception oi the Christian;
life which this generation seems to have
accepted is to be found in the words, "Fol
low Ale," as uttered by Christ. It is
thoroughly Biblical. Jesus says to Philip,
at the beginning of His ministry, "Follow
Me:" He telis the lour on the sands of
tialilee, "Come ye after Me;" He mm
innnda the taxgatherer in his office, "Fol
low Me;" He presents the tame standard
to the rich young man who loved his
money better than life, "Follow Me." Now
the resurrection has passed and what shall
lie the new conception 'or the disciples
of the new life? Jt is still t lie same, and
.Christ proclaims to the same dixciplca at
the same place on Ualilec, "Follow thou
We."
The grand ami infinitely simple way of
looking at the Christian life hud been lost.
He was the true Christian who believed
what the church told him and accepted
its appointed means of grace. But now
after these centuries Christendom has re
covered this idea and made it the very cen
tre and core of the Christian life. Mr.
Henry Richards, on the Congo, reads to
the natives the words of Christ. "Uive to
bim that asketh of thee; u.nd of him that
takrth away thy goods ask them not
again," and then proceeds to practice
thcni. with the result that the natives
first beg and then return and then ask
for the way of life. Mr. V. T. Stead,
while in his London jail, wonders what he
ajiall write to ths girl whom he lias suc
ceeded in placing in a Christian home, and
at hut, by a Hash of insight, writes her,
"He a Christ." Chnrles M. Sheldon pre
sents as the ideal of every life, to act as
Christ would act it' He were here in out
place.
What ia the trouble with this concep
tion? This, that it represents the statics
but not the dynamics of the Christian life,
It tells us what to be like, but does not
tell us how we shall become like our ideal.
Kant thought that the same man who of
deliberate choice accepted evil could with
the same deliberate choice and by simple
trill accept good when be saw it. This is
a tine philosophy, but a poor religion. It
does not explain Uough, MeAuley, Hadley.
It gives us the ideal, but not the power to
embody the ideal.
Listen to this statement and see if you
can rind a better one to express this idea
of iollowing Christ: "Keligion cannot
be said to have made a bad choice in
pitching upon this man as the ideal repre
sentative and guide of humanity; nor even
now would it be easy even for an unbe
liever to find a better translation of tho
rule of virtue from the abstract into the
concrete than to endeavor so to live that
Christ could approve of our life," And
yet it was no less a person than J. S. Will,
an unbeliever, who wrote this.
The text of the morning presents the
needed complementary conception. He
who is presented as an objective ideal be
comes a subjective presence and power.
He who said, "As Thou hast sent Me into
the world, even to have I sent them into
the world," says with the "Go," the "Lo,
1 am with you 11 the days."
The Bible represents this union in dif
ferent ways. Now it is that of the foun
dation and the superstructure signifying
support; now the body and head, meaning
direction: now of the husband and wife,
representing union; now of the vine and
branch, signifying the communication of
lite; ana finally, most tenderly ana mys
teriously, of the relation between the
Father and Son. In whatever way it is
epoken of it is evidently au essential phase
of tho Christian life.
Dr. A. J: (iordoii once saw what he
called a parable of nature up in a part
of New England where he spent his sum
mer holidays. It was an example of nat
ural grafting. Two little saplings grew
up tide by side. Through the action of
the wind the bark of each became wound
ed, the tap began to mingle and at last
on a still day they were firmly compacted.
Then the stronger began to absorb the life
of the weaker. It grew larger and larger
while the other grew smaller and smaller;
then began to wither and decline til' finally
it dropped away and disappeared. Now.
there are two trunks at the bottom and
only one at the top. Death hat taken
way the one; lifo lias triumphed in the
other. The illustration thus given by Dr.
Gordon only fails in not giving sufficient
importance to the words "1 live" of the
text. The religious life it not self-immolation,
but aelf-realir.ation. It it not absorp
tion, but ampliticttion.
Without thinking for the present of the
unvarying condition of this life, "cruci
fixion with Christ," or the motive of such
living, "Christ loved us and died for us,"
or the means of tuch living, "faith in the
Hon of God," let us think more at length
of the tingle sublime thought, our union
with Christ and its bearings upon the dif
ferent phases of the Christian life. This
we roust for the present emphasise if we
re to have a pure evangelical Christianity
which shall move the world.
First, note that Christ within us it the
source of true divine companionship.
Tne appearance of Christ after the res
urrection had two definite purposes. The
Christ waa truly aiiVe. or, in other words,
to connect the past Christ with the pres
ent Christ. The angels bad assured them
that Jesus would go into Galilee there
to meet them. As soon as faith bad ac
cepted these words of both Christ and the
angels the disciples would leave .Jerusa
lem; nut mis am not take pisce unui suci
week.
The second definite object of Christ's
appearances wat to teach the disciples the
apiritual nature of the kingdom, or, in
other words, to connect the present Christ
with the future Christ. Among such
teachings are the words, "Follow Me,"
poken to the seven in Galilee: the prom
ise to all, "Lo, 1 am with you all the days,"
and the command that they should not
depart from Jerusalem, but "wait for the
promise of the Father, which, He said, ye
have heard of We." A glance back into
the fourteenth chapter of John shows
what this promise was. The sixteenth
verse says: "I will pray the Father and
He shall give you another comforter, that
He may abide with you forever." But ol
whose presence it the Spirit the embodi
ment? Ths-eighteenth verse taya: "1 will
not leave you comfortless; I will come to
you." Then the twentieth assures the
disciples: "At thtt day ye shall know
1 I I I I . . 17 ... 1. mwti. ... ... VI. .ml
'.I in you." Thus Christ's objective com
Vanionthip becomes a subjective fellow
ship. How closely ctn two peop.e, heart to
heart, be together? There it always the
veil of the flesh between. All we can do if
to interpret looks, words, and sometimes
our judgment it wrong even on those near
est to us. We all walk a solitary way. Few
reach that beautiful companionship repre
sented by Browning in "By the Firetide; '
"When, if I but think deep enough, k
, i'uu are wout to answer, prompt ai
rhyme;
Ami you, too, find without rebuff
Itesponse your soul seeks many a time.
Piercing itt fine flesh stuff.
Then it ill that Christ Himself comes clos
er than .breathing, nearer than hands or
teet, comet into the iunermoat recesses at
our nature for sympathy and oommuuioa
with the human heart.
Christ within us it tlso the source of
power. Christ does not give us power by
making mere machines of us. We tre tbt
flay in the potter's hands, but we are some
ihiug more. God does not want ut to be
slaves, but freemen; not subjects, but sons.
An equally false way of considering the
help that we receive from God ia that we
are lo do all that we can with our natural
or redeemed powers, and then let God do
th.i rest. Ho the longer we ,ive, the strong
er we are and the lesa we need Uod't in
terposition. Every time God helps ut, we
t kwt of a man or woman, and the strong
er we grow the more independent, and the
lt we need faith. The end of it all would
i absolute independence ol Oud. Surely,
K ia not God's idea. .
.The true way or looking upon our rela
tion to Christ is that His presence within
our heart by faith gives us energy to
achieve, not by enslaving, but by enfran
chising the will, invigorating it, energizing
it, vitalizing it, until with Augustine we
can say; "We will, but (lod work the
willing: we work, but God works the
Working.
l'hilippiant. 3: 12, 1.1, li.is often been mis
understood. It says: "vVork out your nun
salvation with fear and trembling. For it
is God which worketh in you both, to will
tm& do of Hit good pleasure." To "work
out" does not mean to work into outward
expression what Clod puts within us, but
at it literally means, to "achieve" for sal
vation Is an achievement at well as being
at the same time a gift. Nor does it menu
that we are to work in Paul's absence.
The possibility of working out our salva
tion rests upon the fsct that God is with
in, to that we can will and do of llis good
pleasure. Thus, will it not an instrument,
which we can turn from side to side, and
which when necessary God can use; it is
ourselves acting. That which God docs is
not our act unless God workt through our
wills.
The possibilities of such an empowered
life are divine. We need not be perfec
tionists and still believe as we ought that
Christ's grace is sufficient for us. Many
pretend to believe it, and do not live it.
They worry, they fret, they give up. The,
most of us teem to think that the normal
Christian life is to rise ami fail like the
tides. Yet Paul toys': "There hath no
temptation befallen you but such as is com
mon to man; but God is faithful, who will
not suffer you to he tenspted above that
ye are able; but will with tne temptation
also make a way of escape, that ye may
be able to bear it."
Christ within also makes all living sa
cred. We have made snd divisions among
objects. We have divided tpace into holy
and unholy, and declared tnat God could
be found only in certain places, which had
been consecrated. We have divided timu
into holy and tecular, decloring that we
would serve God on the Sabbath anil con
duct our business and amusements as we
pleased the rest of the week. We have di
vided money into two parts. We have said
that the giving of the one-tenth, or one
twentieth to God, justified us in the claim
of unlimited freedom in the disposition
of the rest. We have divided up persons,
and put a certain class of people called
priests, ministers, missionaries, upon ped
estals, declaring that the standard of con
duct for them differed from the standard
for others, and that their work was espe
cially religious.
All wrong. All space it holy, and the
green grass may be the chancel carpet and
the trees the massive pillars and the sky
the dame, if below there is a heart pray
ing in spirit and truth. All time is sacred.
The Monday should be at much devoted to
God't service as Sunday, and the office and
the store should be at mucn, shrines of
devotion at the closet. All money is sa
cred, and the money spent upon the nec
essaries of life, upon business and pleasure
should be spent with equal consciousness
as upon the church. All Christians have
Christ within them, and they should aim
lo objectify His life. There is nothing we
need to-day quite as much as the Chris
tianization of the secular life,
i Then at last, the Christ within is the
source of final holiness. Christ at last
is to present us holy and unblamable, and
Irreprovable in His sight.
. Sin does two thiugs for us, separates
is from God and distorts our nature. When
we are forgiven we are restored to the di
vine fellowship. But what about the ef
fects of sin upon our nature? See the
scars upon the tree and what the life of
the tree does for it. Listen to what Paul
says: "I am perplexed until Christ he
formed within you." At Christ had His
Bethiehem. His Nazareth. His Olivet, to
does He again in His reincarnation have
His Bethlehem, His Nazareth, His Olivet.
Who knows why one plant growt into tho
geranium, and the other into the rose? Th?
t.vn is something more than the ideal pre
tented for the imitation of ths plant. It
it nn informing life.
i I think it wat the last thing that Dr.
A. S. Gumbert wrote for the Examiner:
"Among the Dutch the rose was sometimes
fnlf ivitipd bv nlantinir an inferior rose
close to a rose of tunerior variety. The
rose of inferior quulity was carefully
watched and antheit removed to avoid
aclf-pollenizatiou; the object being that
it should be pollenized by the superior
rose. Gradually the rose thus treated took
upon itself the characteristics of the supe
rior life of itt companion." So, our lives
tre pollenized at it were by His righteous
ness. Thut Christ within becomes to ut the
tource of divine companionship, of power
for achievement, of the exaltation of con
duct, of final holiness. He who wishes
to plant hope within his own heart of such
prospects, should begin and never cease
exercising faith in Hun who loved us and
gave Himself to die for ut.
1 Overcoming; Worry.
I believe a little true philosophy and
reasoning can go a great way in overcoming
worry. I do not mean a deep aud mys
terious philosophy, but a simple applica
tion of common facta which appeal to in
telligence. These factt are such at the
following: "Worry can do no good. ou
cannot change things by being anxious.
Worry unfits you for bard work, and hard
work is the tureet power to make wrong
things right. It it foolish to waste time
and ttrength in doing that which only
leavet one less time and lesa ttrength.
But there it also a sweeter philosophy
which dealt with principles of right and
balance. It ehowt how thingt go crookml
tometimee, that the final result may be
more beautiful. It auggestt how by some
wiedoro greater than ours wrongs, or ap
parent wrongs, are finally righted. It
bringt history and personal experience in
srray against a merely transient view ot
life, and proves how in the large and long
run the man who waita and trusts is the
man who succeeds Floyd Tompkint.
Keen Day's Living.
Our life may be food to us, or mey. if
we have it to, be poison, but one or the
other it must be. Whichever ant what
ever it it, beyond all doubt, it it eminent
lv real. So merely at the day and the
night alternately follow one another, does
every day when it passes into dawn, bear
with it its own tale of the results which
it has si '.en try wrought u-an each of ut
for evil or for good. The day of diligence,
duty and devotion leaves it richer than it
found us, richer sometimes, and even
commonly, in our circumstances; richer
always in ourselves.
A Year of freedom. f
Let the new year be a year of freedom
from sin, a year of service, a year of trust
in God, and it will be a happy year from
first to last. It may be the hardest year
we have known, hut it will be the dum
piest. J M. Buckley. I) D.

Jl-34-Oolden Text, Lukt iv , 4'1-Mc.t-ory
Vtrtts, 21, 22 Comm. at..;
oa the Diy't Ltasoo.
I. Teaching with authority (vs. 21, 2V).
21. "They.'' Jesus and the four disciples
He had just called. "Into Capernaum.''
Christ now makes Capernaum His home,
and the centre of His ministry for more
than a year. It is called His own city
I. Matt. 0: 1), and here as a citizen lie paid
the half shekel (Matt. 17: -J4. His mother
nnd brethren came here with Him (John
2: 12). "The Mahnath day.'' His first
Sabbath in Capernaum. "1 he synagogue."
This was the gift ol a centurion (l.ufce 7:
5). Schools ami colleges were often con
nected with the synagogues. They were
the centres of religious and intellectual
life. "Taught." It ivn common to call
upon any suitable person to speak in the
synagogue services. It is not unlikely that
at this time He repented what He hail said
t Nazareth I l.uke 4: 1B-H0I. It was truth
that produced results, whatever may have
been the subject.
S3. "They were astonished. ' At the
mutter, manner, spirit mid autlioiily of
lli teaching. 1. At the range of 111 intel
lectual gifts. 2. The force of His illustra
tions. 'J. His acquaintance with the Ir.imnn
heait. 4. llis deep knowledge of the di
vine law. "Authority." Ho spoke as on-)
commissioned by God, nnd He laid great
stress upon Himself. He said: "I say
un'o you," without minting their teach
ers. He was: 1. Dmiiilied. 2. Origiuul.
y. Convincing 4. Consistent. "Not as
the scribe.' The scribes were without
suiritual life, their rummer wus cold, anil.
Willi an iinho'v ambition, they sought their
own and Hod's glory. They could only in
sist upon the observance of petty rules in
vented by men like themselves.
II. Tower over evil spirits (vs. 23-2H).
2.1. "A man with an tinc.can spirit." Luke
says he had "u spirit of an unclean devil"
and "cried out with a loud voice (l.uke 4:
.1"). There has been r.mch discussion re
garding this "unclean spirit." Many hold
th.it tho.ie who were said to have devils
wcrefsiir.piy diseased people, nnd that their
strong paroxysms were only "tits." We
cannot agree with this, hovevc and must
insist that, difficult os it may be to under
stand, yet real demons did inhabit this
ran and those referred to in verse S2.
This country abounded in demons. "Cried
out." An evil spirit is itirred to its dcptlu
when in contact with Jesus.
21. "Let us ulone." The devil always
desires to be let alone, and bad men do
not want to be disturbed with anyt'iini;
good. We hear this crv the moment wo
undertake to deal with unclean things
to-duy, such as intemperance and tlie so
cial evil. "What have we to do with
Thee?" Nothing nt all. There is no con
cord between Christ and Uelial. "To de
stroy us." To drive us from our abode
back to our native place. "I know Thee."
Imagine some disease, like the nnupltxy,
thus addressing Christ! No, Christ is
dca.ing with devils now. ami tliev know
Him well. "The Holy One o,' (Jod." The
"Messiah, who has coine to destroy the
kingdom of the devil (1 John 3: 8). 23.
"Jesus rebuked him.'" rio does not desire
the testimony of devils to' prove llis M-'s-hiahship.
Throughout His ministry Cnrist
never for a moment countenances any
thing that might b? construed into a truce
with .atan. lloul toy pence. Literally,
"be thou muzzled." It is a wj;-J for a
beast. "Come out of nun." lie speaks
with authority. He will siio-.v who lie is
by casting out the devil.
23. "Torn him." Or couvulfd him.
"Came out." liven the devils obey His
word of command. Thi? is an evidence of
the great object in Christ's miss:on--to de
stroy the works of the devil.
27. " hat thin in this?" Cod's wonders
nre more wo;idc:'fu! tlia.i the devil's won
der". Jum taiipht by what He did s
well as by what lk said. "They do obey
Him." '1 hus Jesus established His mission
by the iniraclfs Ho wrought, uml they
could not doubt it. 2S. "lamp spread
abroad." This miracle was wrought in the
public congregation, and those win saw it
published it wherever they went, and the
people throughout nil (lalilcc were soon
ilisi ussimr Him nnd llis work. He did
not need devils to publish Him, and we do
not need to compromise ith the world,
the flesh or the devil to-day iu order to
be able to cirry on His work.
111. Healing in a home (vs. 29 31). 29.
"They entered." etc. 1'eter and his broth
er Andrew, although natives of Uelhsaida
(John 1: 44), were now living at Caper
naum. Jesus, James and John had en
tered Peter's house. 3D. "Simon's wife's
mother." Tiius we see that I'eter was u
married man. It is strange, indeed, that
the Human Catholic Churcii should lay to
much stress on the celibacy of the clergy
when I'eter, their chief cornerstone, had
wife. "Lay sick of a fever." Luke calls
it , great fever. See Luke 4: 3S. She was
prostrated with a burning fever. "They
tell Him." This was really a request for
healing. Thev knew He could restore her.
31. "Took her by the hand." Could
tnything on this aide the unlimited power
of (lod effect such a cure? These proofs
hould demonstrate His divinity to the in
telligence of every man. "The fever left
her." Christ has power over disease. He
can. and frequently does, heal to-day; and
yet we cannot test the state of the soul bv
the health of the body. Some of (lad's
best saints have suffered with bodily in
firmities and have been sick. It is the
"prayer of faith" that saves the sick, and
he who offers that prayer will see immedi
ate remits. "She ministered." She was
perfectly recovered and performed the or
dinary duties of the household. She was
not obliged to wait a long time for her
tirenjrn to return.
IV. Many miracles (vs. 32-34). 32.
"When the sun did set." The Sabbath
ended with the setting sun and then they
brought their sick to "Him. It would nut
have been a desecration of the d'iy if they
had come before the sun went down. Jesus
had just performed a cure on that day,
but the superstitions of the aftticted ones
and their friends kept many from applying
to Hun on the Sabbath day. "l.nto Him. '
Christ has a panacea for all our aches, il's
and troubles. All a suffering wsrld needs
to do it to go to Jesus. lie is still ths
tame living, mighty One, end is ab e, will
ing and anxious to deliver us from the pow
er of the devil.
33. "All the city." Not necessarily every
person, but a vrv large company. 34.
"Healed many." Matthew says, "all that
were sick." Luke says He laid hands on
them. Jesus healed all who came, and
they were many. "Diseases, devils." A
distinction is made here that we must not
fail to notice; diseases were "hea'ed" and
devils "east out." "Suffered not," See on
verse 23. This had been a great day at
Capernaum, a day 'filled with stirring
events. May Ciod give us tuch dayt in all
our citict.
Egyptian Shorthand.
Shorthand writers should be Inter
ebted In the recent discovery of a
papyrus which throws some light op
be state ot stenography iu Egypt Is
the third century. The document found
Is contract between a shorthand
school and a man who wished one ol
hla slaves to acquire the art. The fee
was 120 drachmae, 40 down, 40 at the
end of a year and the balance on
"graduation." How long the courst
lasted Is not stated, but evidently thr
trt of the stenographer waa not ar
jaay one, and It waa practiced cbleflj
by slaves.
Not So Dull.,

If JeBus loved us bffore we loved
him, surely we otiKht to love him with
all our being because he first loved
us.
Chrlt for the world, and fnr mc?
Yes, he could not possibly give better
evidence of thin than hl loving sacri
fice on the cross. Now reverse tha
order. iAm I for Christ? then what
sacrifice am I making for his sake?
Selections.
In full and glad surrender we give our
selves to Thee,
Thlnp utterly, and only, and eveimore
to be!
Oh, Son of God. who lovest us. we will
be thine,
And all we have, and all we are shall
henceforth be thine own!
Rejection or neroptanre of Christ Is
for two worlds; the choice cannot l
made separately for time and for etern
ity. He that chooses that this life
shall be spent out of Christ, thereby
Battles Jt that the unending life Bhall
bo spent In outer- darkneas.
O Jesus, thou art knocking;
And lo! that hand Is scarred.
And thorns thy brow encircle.
And tears thy face have martcd;
O love that passeth knowledge,
So patiently to wait!
O sin that hath no equal.
So fast to bar the gate!
A backwoods preacher waa once be
fore a conference committee for ex
amination. "Hrother." said one of his
examiners, "what mak(s you think
thilst Is divine?" With his eyes full
of tears he started to h.!s"feet. and
stretching out his arms and hands he
exclaimed: "How do I know he's dl
vitro Why. bless you. h?'s saved my

Prayer, We thank. Thee. O (lod. for
Thy great goodness and Thy wonderful
works to the children of men. Here
in Is love, not that we luv?d (lod. but
that He first loved us, and gave him
self for us. Now, we pray that love
may take complete possession of our
heaits. that we may be Thine, ev?n as
Thou didst give Thyself for us. so may
we consecrate ourselves as llvlnsr
sacrifices to Thee for Chrlal's salts.
Amen.

February 7 The Universal and Personal
Christ. (Jobs J. 14-21.
The atonemi'nt was not a means ot
making God love the world, but tha
method adopted by the divine holi
ness, wisdom, and love to save sin
ners. That atonement was for ths
whole world, not somo favored section
of it. As the uplifted serpent was
for the dealing of every bittn one in
the whole camp, so was Jesus lifted
tip on the cross for the whole world
or sinners. "He tasted death for
every man."
Because Jesus is the . universal
Christ I can have him as the Christ
for me, Had the serpent not been
lifted up for all. but only for some
s'ctlon of Israel's camp or for sonm
favored ones here and there, how
could any Individual sufferer be sure
that the healing was for him? Cn

The ur.'.versal Christ becomes per
sonal to me, my Saviour, through my
act of faith. All Niagara's flood may
roar past my back door, but only as I
turn its power through my sluice or
bring a part of Its abundance to my
own lip will it run my mill or quench
rr.y thirst. Each bitten one had to
look and Hve. As the convict trusts
th-) governor's promised clemency, as
the sick one tiusts himself to the phy
sician's skill, ko do I rely upon Christ
to blot ou- the handwriting that is
against me and save m from the
power of sin.
ThU.faith that makes the universal
Christ my Christ is a moral act. Jesus
.i too grat and glorious to be ig
nored. To those who do not wilfully
shut their eyes he shines by his own
light. He is self evidencing as tha
midday sun. All that is best in
man speaks fcr him.
Therefore, unbelief Is less an act of
unconvinced Intellect than one of
perverse will. Sin Is at the root of
rejection of Jesus. The man who
will not accept him is by that very
act Judg-'d, shown to be one who does
not love tho light. Such remain un
der the condemnation Into which sin
has brought thorn. As Luther says.
"Hell is already upon their neck." If
any man will do his will he shall

Ah. no. indeed, 'tis a very small sum.
You are passing it over twixt linger and

A Terrllile Inillrtinent.
Referring to the ilcvnxUtitiK ruin Iirongli L
upon native tribes by the introduction of
intoxicating liquors mi the part of Chris
tian nations, the I'.cv. Mark Uuy Pease
says:
"We Englishmen, to proud of our coun
try, must how down wiih an aninl shame
at' the thought of it. All that England has
done and is doing to advance the welfare
of the nations, is undone, and worse than
undone, by the curse of strong drink. It
hurts one, indeed, to think of it, but it
is just the awiul unci terrible truth that
in spite of our llilile societies and of all
our great missionary societies, the world
would be better to-day if there were no
England.
"In India it i s.iid that for every native
converted to Christianity, lot) natives are
made drunkards. When the natives see
a drunken man, they are accustomed to
say: 'He has left Mohammed and gone to
Jesus.' 'Now that Uurniah is annexed,'
s..ys a missionary, "it has become a place
of cheap drink and great crimes."
"I have only once been near a Moham
medan tuuu. and this is what I saw: 1
had not landed live minutes before I was
surrounded by a group of Arab hoys car
rying bottles of spirits Moh.iinniedan
lads, whose religion forbids them to drink
strong drink and we were assailed with
cries ill broken English: 'Master, buy
bottle oianiiy three-six." "Miss, nice bot
tle brandy three-six.' My bran prayed
Cod that these lads might he kept sobei
ilohammedans rather tlian become such
'Christians' as they are accustomed to
see. Little wonder that one ot the most
enlightened Hrahniins cried: 'Oh, that wn
hail never seen a European face; oh, that
we hail never tasted tne bitter sweets ol
your civilization, rather than that it should
make us a nation oi drunkards and
brutes.'
Thus writes Arnold White, who has lived
among the natives:
" 'The Indians of America and Hindo
Stan, the wild races of Australia, the Kaf
firs, the debased Hottentots, the West
Coast negroes, the effeminate Cingalese,
and the sinewy aborigines of Canada, have
bitter reason to rue the tirst day of then
communication with lie Anglo-Saxon
race. Eiujliind lias polliucd with drink
and honeycombed with toul disease the
lives of those races who still survive a
contact all unsought by them. When oiu
countrymen return Ironi Eastern land
thev tell us that for every missionary sent
out there go alsu some .')() gallons of
rum; that it is tieiter to carry out iio
hainniedanism than Christianity, because
Mohammedanism is temperate uud Chris
tianity is not.'
"Mr. Mackay, of the Xyanza Mission,
writes:
" "Oh, how often shall I write in my
journal as 1 pass through many tribes,
"Drink ia the curse of Africa?'1 Co whera
you will, and you will Itnd men, women
and children reeling trom the effects oi
alcohol. Thfl vast West of Africa 1s ru
ined with rum.'
"Eew men had such opportunities of
seein" the world as Sir (leorge tirey. His
life has been speiu in constant contact
with savage races in Africa, with Zului
and Kaffirs, in New Zealand with the Ma
uris. He declared that when he came
home to London he saw in a single week
sights more shamclul than he had seen
during all those years among the savages,
and it was all through strong drink.
."Kev. P. J. Kitclne, of CJueensiown, in
ii n address delivered as chairman of the
Conereaiional L'nion, said:
"Is it noi clear that the aurcad oi
drinking habits among the natives must
inevitably tend to render them unfit for
any useful service, to deprive them of tho
means of honest livelihood, and consequent
ly to drive them into criminal courses,
until they ar good for nothing but to be
cast out and trodden under feet of men?
'the voice of their blood will cry from
the ground unto heaven against their
Uiite distroyers. Our boasted civilisa
tion has given them the llib'.e with una
hand and the brandy bottle with the oth
er. It brings all heaven before their eyes
in the mission church, and opens hell for
them in the canteen. It gives the mis
sionary the opportunity to put upon them
the pressure of moral suasion for their
salvation, while it gives its legis.ators
power to take off the excise duty uu C"'

fforwegian Cure For Drunkensss.
In Norway drunkenness is punished by
imprisonment. As soon tt a man is incar
cerated the delinquent has a loaf and wine
morning and evening. The bread is served
in a wooden bowl full of wine, in which it
has been soaking for an hour. The Urst
day the drunkard swallows his allowance,
willingly enough. The second day it
teems less pleasing. At the end of eight
or ten days prisoners hsve been knowii to
tbstain altogether from the food thut pit
ilessly presented. This course of treat
ment finished, the drunktrd, except in
rare instances, is radically cured,

The Fullness of floil.'
How much of Clod do you and I desire?
What sort of a Saviour are we looking
for as we go on our brief way through
this world? A Cod who can prolong our
lives and give us the temporal pleasures
we desire, and save us from destruction,
nud finally bring us to a world better than
this with as little trouble to ourselves as
possible? Or do we really hunger und
thirst, lor a Uod who will satii-fv all the
innermost longings of our own mysterious
souls, for things we have never had nor
seen: the yearning for love of a quality
earth docs not know?
Hundreds of expedients there arc by
which we sccK to till this empty pluce in
our beings, power, money, fame, pleasure,
affection ,imitcd to the human sphere
all these, nun cast into the void in tho
vain hope to till ii. And for a while it
may be thty are deceived into thinking
they have accomplished their purpose. Tim
very ardor of pursuit, the first glow of
possession, seems to aid them to forget
the lack. But only lor a lime. They have
forgotten tiod, but !od has not forgotten
them. There comes sudden loss. Hope
dies. Then when the world has turned to
bitterness, some will turn and search for
their dead Lord as did Mary when ho
went to tne tomb, and to such will He
tome kiiiI speak their names in love, and
give them a glimpse of what llis fulue?
is. Hot many of us are satisfied to sing
aloig: our way, feeling content that wo
have made our peace with an angry God
nnd are attempting in tile main to do
about right, and though we would not like
to confess it, we do not rei.lly want to be
iilled lull of God's spirit. .V little is suf
ficient for our needs. Such a fullness of
God would hinder our earthly plans, and
we really have not time. lii is so short,
and so bright, until the shadow comes.
To such members of the earthly church
comes this prayer of Paul's to God for us.
bidding us remember our high birth, of
the line -not of Abraham or David but ot
"the Father" of our Lord Jesus Christ:
reminding us of our kinship with the rest
of men and angels, "of whom the whole
family in heaven and earth is named."
"To be strengthened." the prayer goes
on. Why, we thought we were quite
strong! Arc we not pill. us in the church?
Do we not leach a Sunday school class and
lead in Christian Endeavor matters? Ah,
but this strength is not that we may be
able to shine as great workers, but rather
that We maV bi filled with the strength
oi His Spirit that Christ may make (lis
home in our hearts, His face one oi llio
n ii inner about the lircside of our secret
self, His presence the moving power in
our lives because He dwells there Only
until one has lived daily with a person,
until one has experienced another's love
under the shadow of sorrow and loss and
lii in t lint ion . can one know the depths of
that love. So, only when we live in Christ
and feel His touch at every step of the
way. His deliglu iu our joy, His comfort
nnd healing in our sorrow, can we begin
to feel what is that love.
Says Bishop Vincent: "The perpetual
hold of Christ upon us is like the perpet
ual hold of the sun upon the earth. The
earth cannot warm itself at the sun. and
then swing off on its own aremmt, to be
a source oi light and heal lisht and heat
which it won from the sun, mid now gives
it second hand, independently of the sun.
The ciin-t.mt hold of the sun on the earth
is the only hope of the earth. All that the
earth ran do is to let the sun have its own
w av, und ield to him. So Christ is our
nil and in all. and is always our all. 1 hi re
is none oilier. Our hope is in Him, Our
faith rests in Him. Our life comes from
Him. To be sure, we are free. Hell, if
the earth were a free and intelligent be
ing the best it could do would be to let
the still have its radiant and regal way
with ii, und to swing in its orbit and turn
nnd tern toward the sun ju-t as it doe.
So we believers in the Sun of Itighteous
nes His planets. His disciples attain
our best by doing Hia will, by lettmg Him
do His will in and for and by us."
And best of all, there is never a heart
hunger that His fullness is too small to
fill. He can do "exceeding abundantly
above all that we ask or think." Dr. Al
exander tells how his little daughter came
to him soon after her mother had gone to
Heaven, and said: "Oh, father, I want
something so murb, and I don't know what
it is!" and how he took her on hit knees
to Jesus, and the little seven-year-old girl
went away happy in the love of Christ.

Mail und Express.
Be Happy.
All nrnti?0 that on earth do dwell.
Sinn to the Lord with cheerful voice; i
II1111 serve with mirth; His praise forth
tell.
Come ye before Hint nnd rejoice."
These are apt thoughts lor any season.
Be happy; it is not only your privilege, but
your duty. God has wrought to that end,
and bids you so work also. Make not only
the most,' but the best of life, lie ' true to
the kindred points of heaven and home."
Let there be gladness under the family roof
tree. IaH old and young rejoice together.
Nor will the joy be less sweet and deep be
cause it is sanctioned and sunctilied by tho
Heavenly Father.
And let it be well remembered that no
byway of selfishness leads to selfishness.
Over the roud of love and self-sacrifice and
devout endeavor for the good and happiness
oi others, and only that way, lies the deep,
safe haven of an untroubled peace. A man,
sinth Scripture, must give an account for
every idle word; that is, for words that
spring from an irreverence and religious
sloth. How much more shall God call him
to a reckoning for every unkind word,
for every word shadowed and sharpened by
a spirit of bitterness, selfishness tnd
gloom! F. C. McCook.
